The alignment of intended learning outcomes for chemistry graduates and the actualised outcomes has been called into question recently. Opportunities to address this lie in the integration of undergraduate learning experiences in which students develop real-world skills and engage with problems that they may encounter as graduates in contemporary workplaces or modern society more broadly. This Highlight article provides an overview of three such approaches, including offering students authentic research experiences within (or outside of) normal degree programs, engaging students in citizen science projects, and considering curriculum reforms to better align with a systems thinking framework. Where possible, we provide explicit examples grounded in the Australian context, accompanied by some thoughts on the challenges that may be encountered when implementing these approaches in practice.

化学毕业生的预期学习成果与实际成果的一致性最近受到质疑。解决这个问题的机会在于整合本科学习经验，学生可以在其中发展现实世界的技能，并解决他们作为毕业生在当代工作场所或更广泛的现代社会中可能遇到的问题。这篇重点文章概述了三种这样的方法，包括在普通学位课程内（或外）为学生提供真实的研究经验，让学生参与公民科学项目，以及考虑课程改革以更好地与系统思维框架保持一致。在可能的情况下，我们提供基于澳大利亚背景的明确示例，
